Even head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-anthony-davis-makes-worrisome-admission-after-lakers-first-win-20221031-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darvin Ham</a> got his first-ever water bath with the team. Also, as it always happens after a bad Lakers’ game recently, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/not-lebron-james-nor-anthony-davis-magics-favorite-player-in-the-first-lakers-win-20221031-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a> got the eyes on, as well. But this time it was for a good performance overall in that game
Patrick Beverley, one of his many teammates, whowatches him every day at practice talked about his most recent performance at the Crypto.com Arena. On Sundaynight Westbrook registered 18 points, with 8 rebounds, and 8 assists coming off the bench in 32 minutes against the Denver Nuggets.
In fact, after the game Westbrook mentioned that he doesn’t let anyone ‘out of his circle’ take him out of his joy and fun when he’s playing basketball. However, it’s not the first time that Westbrook has talked about his performance, neither that he was playing below the expectations.
<h2>Lakers News:Patrick Beverley praisesRussell Westbrook’s new role in the Lakers</h2>
In the latest episode of the Pat Bev Podcast with Rone, both Rone and Patrick Beverley discussed about the Los Angeles Lakers’first win of the 2022-2023 NBA Season to the Denver Nuggets at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. As it happens when the Lakers lose, this time Russell Westbrook had everyone’s eyes on him the entire game. And, surprisingly he didn’t disappoint this time.
“(He’s the) Ultimate professional. It’s not about who starts the game, it’s about who finishes. For him (Westbrook), being with the second unit (the Lakers’ bench), it gives him a ton of space, obviously, because they’re super small. Where he can be him. Obviously playing (with)LeBron (James) and AD (Anthony Davis), with guys, who have to have the ball, for teams to be successful.” he said about the Russell Westbrook performance overall coming off the bench in the last couple of Lakers’ games.

“Coach Ham and his coaching staff have done a great job of communicating everything. They communicated with Russ (Westbrok). It went like a fight, and Russ just wants to win. Since I’ve arrived here, he has been playing his ass off, he has been hooping. Last time he almost got a triple-double coming off the bench, that’s impressive.”Beverleyadded to the discussion.

After the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers, the fans were crazy with a heated wave on social media. Then, the press responded with many reports based on rumors about a possible Russell Westbrooktrade. But withPatrick Beverley, who hashis own podcast, there won’t be any unaswered questions.
Especially when the tougher times come, just like now or even worse. It seems like Patrick Beverley will be in constant communication via his podcast to say out loud what he thinks about the current Los Angeles Lakers season.
<h2>NBA News: Patrick Beverley makes bold statement about the Lakers’ losing start of the season</h2>
Just the second episode ofThe Pat Bev Podcast with Rone,the 34-year-old Patrick Beverley decideditwas ok to start with a joke about the 0-3 record with the Los Angeles Lakers. “Rone started, “0-3”, he said. Then, the Los Angeles Lakers’ player said “0 and what?”, Rone answered, “0 and 3”, “its ok with me”, Beverley said.

After the intro, “Obviously, the last gamewe know we had one (against the Portland Trail Blazers), we came out short. We got one of the best defenses in the NBA. Once we get the offensive side figured out, spacing, who’s (position) where, plays, players coming back. Once we get all that down, we’re going to be fine.I don’t what it is, top 3, top defense in the NBA, I think is something to be proud of. Some look at the positives.” he added.
“That’s normal, all right. You’re talking about one of the mos resisted NBA teams in the league, who aren’t doing so well. They have somebody to talk about. When you have players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, myself, Russ (Russell Westbrook), obviously, you have to give lip here and there. We are taking it, comes with the job, and to reverse this whole thing is going to be fun, too. It’s a vibe, its all part of the process.

First off, a matchup against the NBA Champion, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/nba-star-klay-thompson-explains-how-pep-guardiolas-barcelona-inspired-the-warriors-20221019-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> at the Chase Center.Then, the home opener game will be against one of the Western Conference contenders of thisseason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-kawhi-leonard-sets-his-goal-for-the-upcoming-season-with-the-los-angeles-clippers-20221006-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a>, which has become a pretty good rivalry.
In fact, the rivalry has increased since both teams play in the same city.It wasn’t like this when the Clippers franchise was based in San Diego. So, as this clash increases its intensity, it does the same when players moved from the Lakers to the Clippers, or the other way around.
As<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-news-patrick-beverley-praises-lebron-james-after-two-days-of-the-training-camp-20220928-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Beverley</a>joins the large list of players who have been part of both NBA franchises through the history, his personality couldn’t stop himfrom making unexpected commentsabout this matchup. In fact, those comments were against his own team, as surprising as it may sound.
<h2>NBA News: Patrick Beverley makes fun of the Lakers ahead of their Clippers matchup</h2>
The Lakers-Clippers matchup has become a heated rivarly, especially for the 17-time NBA Champion which haven’t beat the Clippers in two consecutive seasons. In fact, in the last two seasons, the Clippers have won over the Lakers four consecutive times.
So, when Patrick Beverley was asked aboutwhat he hasenjoyed most in his Lakers-Clippers battles, he answered was plain and simple,“winning most of them”, according to Jovan Buha from the Athletic.So, despite he is a Lakers’ player now, his personality couldn’t stophim from making such a comment.
According to the specialized site StatMuse, Beverley has a record of 7 wins and 3 losses to the Los Angeles Lakers as a Clippers player. Also, he has won the last two games of this rivalry,in 2021 and 2020.

Training camp is the perfect time for new teammates to get along with the veterans in the team. Especially when one of them is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/lakers-star-lebron-james-speaks-out-on-his-favorite-athlete-growing-up-20220928-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>,and the team you play for is the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-los-angeles-lakers-prepare-two-massive-moves-for-next-summer-20220928-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a>.Even for men like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/patrick-beverley-words-fuel-shaq-to-bash-mitchell-gobert-and-some-of-nba-highest-paid-20220915-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Beverley</a>,whose ego sometimes overhelms himself and others.
However, there aren’t anycomplaints so far. Head coach Darvin Ham is enjoying himself, even invited his long-time friend Ben Wallace to talk to some of the guys in the gym. As the preseason games are right aroung the corner is critical for each player to start feeling the pressure of being a Laker.
Especially when the team comes after a very-early elimination last seasonwith no Playoffs contention. There will be time to address that, but in the mean time, the Lakers are trying to get along as the practice sessions go on. And, so far, neither Russell Westbrook nor Pat Beverley have been involved in anything wrong.
<h2>Patrick Beverley on LeBron Jamesabout how elite are his playmaking skills</h2>
The first two days of the 2022-23 trainingcamp are over, and everyone was very happy to share their thoughts about the feelings towards each other. For example, coach Darvin Ham praised everybody in the gym, however, he didn’t want to mention any names, but that“..currently the rotation is neccesary to keep trying new things.”
For Patrick Beverley, being the new guy on the squad its not even something worth talking, but he made some remarks about his newest teammate. “It’s just high IQ basketball. One thing I’ve learned about him seeing through the game; he’s an elite passer. Probably one of the best to ever do it, from his height, his size. That’s just the nature of the business when you play with LeBron James.“
Whereas for Anthony Davis this is a chance to get the rhythm going on, once again. And he has set his mind to play the first 82 games, as he said. Then, to play well, and help the team win games. That’s how it is going for the new Lakers team so far.

However, his controversial character surfaced early.
When questioned about sharing the court with titans such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-disgusted-lebron-james-takes-a-hit-on-the-robert-saver-suspension-20220914-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, Anthony Davis or Russell Westbrook, Beverley launched a lapidary statement: “They’re gonna be playing with me (not him with them). I made the playoffs last year, they didn’t. It’s a difference,” stated Pat to Spectrum Sports Net.
In response, another master of controversy, former Los Angeles Lakers star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/russell-westbrook-attitude-with-lebron-james-that-kept-him-from-shining-on-the-lakers-as-per-shaq-20220908-0045.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaquille O’Neal</a> took advantage of Patrick Beverley’s statement to throw a dart at those NBA players he believes are receiving a multi-million dollar salary they don’t deserve.
<h2>Shaq praises Beverley and denounces NBA overpaid players</h2>
It’s no secret that O’Neal has clear preferences about some players in the league. He has previously indicated that he was unhappy that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-disgusted-chris-paul-rips-adam-silver-over-robert-sarvers-sanctions-20220915-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rudy Gobert</a> had a multimillion-dollar contract, or that Donovan Mitchell seemed overpriced. It seems that he has resumed the attack after Patrick Beverley’s statements upon his arrival to the Lakers.
“I’ve got nothing bad to say about Pat… He play the game like it’s supposed to be played. Not these dudes making $200-300M and can’t play at all…Listen, you want a guy like that on the team,” he continued. “A guy like that, you don’t tamper with“, stated Shaq on NBA on TNT.
Beyond this type of actions that create controversy in a team already harassed by the pressure of their fans and the media as the Los Angeles Lakers, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-lakers-patrick-beverley-shares-his-true-thoughts-on-russell-westbrook-20220907-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Beverley</a>, at 34 years old, still has the necessary fuel to empower LeBron James and company from the defense in their attempt to conquer once again the top of the NBA.

Patrick Beverley's words fuel Shaq to bash Mitchell, Gobert and some of NBA's highest-paid

Patrick Beverley's words fuel Shaq to bash Mitchell, Gobert and some of NBA's highest-paid - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-russell-westbrook-could-make-a-huge-commitment-before-the-season-20220906-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> needed to add shooters around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/michael-jordan-or-lebron-james-tiger-woods-classy-answer-to-who-is-the-best-in-nba-history-20220906-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis. And even though Patrick Beverley is a better shooter than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/russell-westbrook-ideal-destination-to-leave-lakers-is-revealed-by-nba-sources-to-insider-20220907-0066.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a>, that doesn’t make him a good shooter.
Spacing could be a major issue for the 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers again. Opposing defenses often collapsed the paint and dared Westbrook to hit wide-open shots from the perimeter, which didn’t happen very often.
That’s why ESPN’s Brian Windhorst doesn’t think <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-lakers-patrick-beverley-shares-his-true-thoughts-on-russell-westbrook-20220907-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Westbrook and Beverley can coexist</a> on the court. Their personal history and beef aside, they’re just not a good pairing from a basketball standpoint.
<h2>Brian Windhorst Says Patrick Beverley And Russell Westbrook Can’t Work Together</h2>
“I am still trying to get over that we had Beverley and Westbrook on the list of notable backcourts,” Windhorst said. “Ahead of at least 7 or 8 other ones. You can’t tell me that that backcourt can work in any circumstance in 2022 NBA, and you can’t tell me that LeBron has any interest in playing with those two guys running the floor for him.”

<div style="text-align:center">

 </div>
</div>
<h2>Lakers Also Have Doubts About Their Backcourt</h2>
The analyst also thinks the Lakers are aware of this. Windhorst claims they will try and make things work because they’re pretty much stuck with Westbrook right now, but the early results may not be encouraging:
“I just don’t believe that the Lakers think this is gonna work,” Windhorst said. “They’re saying that and trying to make the best out of this because they know they don’t have any Russell Westbrook trade that makes sense for them right now. So they’re gonna try to make it work.”
“Let’s be honest: we live in an NBA era where you have to have shooting,” Windhorst added. “When the Lakers won their title a couple of years ago, it was with shooting. All of LeBron’s great teams in his career had shooting. You have Russell Westbrook, one of the worst three-point shooters in the NBA, and Patrick Beverley, who’scoming off his worst three-point shooting season of his career. I guess I can’t rule anything out, but this duo doesn’t make any sense on a basketball level. I appreciate that they’re being nice to each other, so points for that.”
At the end of the day, it seems like the Lakes will have to make a decision and either have Westbrook coming off the bench or give up picks to trade him away. Otherwise, things could get ugly pretty quickly.

It’s been a wild year for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-have-a-new-secret-weapon-for-next-season-20220901-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers.</a> They went from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-darvin-ham-shares-his-real-thoughts-on-lebron-james-20220831-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA title</a> contenders to not even making the play-in tournament, so it became clear as day that their roster needed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/analyst-makes-astonishing-prediction-about-russell-westbrook-future-20220902-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a major overhaul.</a>
Rob Pelinka was only able to do so much, given their salary cap situation. But their latest move could be the most impactful yet, as Patrick Beverley will give them a much-needed backcourt stopper and some three-point shooting.
Needless to say, the story of the day was whether he’d bury the hatchewith lifelong nemesis <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-russell-westbrook-could-make-a-huge-commitment-before-the-season-20220906-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-russell-westbrook-could-make-a-huge-commitment-before-the-season-20220906-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">.</a> And judging by what we’ve seen so far, it seems like he’s more than willing to leave all that behind.
<h2>NBA News: Pat Beverley Says He Never Played With SomeoneLike Russell Westbrook</h2>
(via Los Angeles Times)
“When asked specifically about playing with Westbrook, Beverley said, ‘It works to have another ballhandler out there with me. … I haven’t had an explosive guard like Russ to play with defensively and offensively.’
‘A player with that competitive spirit, that fire, that will, that dog, that nastiness, that grit, to have a running mate like that, I have never had that,’ Beverley said. ‘So I am super excited to see where it goes. Obviously like any relationship or any marriage, things, we are going to have tough conversations. That is what comes with winning but I am excited about those conversations, I am excited about the practices. I am just excited to be able to compete with someone like that.’”

<h2>Bev Wants To Help The Lakers’ Chemistry</h2>
Patrick Beverley also wants to help the Lakers be close as a team. He believes that thecamaraderie and rapport and being able to hold each other accountable can take any team to great lengths:
“I changed the culture of all three of them,” Beverley said. “But I am not here to change the culture. I am trying to implement what I feel like has worked over the past years and that is the more closer you are, the more you are a team, the more [time] you spend together, the better you’ll be as a team.”
At the end of the day, the Lakers will always be obliged to compete at the highest level, regardless of who’s wearing the purple and gold. So, maybe Pat Bev will finally give them the typeof leadership they need to fulfill their potential.

After nearly twomonths in which there was no traction after his trade request, all signs are pointing towards<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kevin-durant-contract-with-nets-does-kd-have-a-no-trade-clause-in-brooklyn-20220630-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant</a> staying in Brooklyn. With four more years remaining in hiscontract, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-embarrassing-reason-why-the-nets-dont-want-russell-westbrook-20220819-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nets</a> were reluctant to let him leave.
Consequently, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-kyrie-irving-has-made-a-decision-about-his-future-with-the-nets-20220819-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a> is no longer expected to be traded either. Now, the team’s idea seems to be to keep its core afloat and run things back this season, aiming to do betterthan in the 2021-22 NBA playoffs.
The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-montrezl-harrell-and-players-lakers-should-bring-back-20220822-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lakers</a> have been heavily linked with Kyrie throughout the offseason, but it appears that they’ll have to lookelsewhere to improve their roster. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there are two players we should keep an eye on.
<h2>Rumor: Two Lakers trade targets to keep an eye on</h2>
“I think as of right now, the Lakers are open to anything that will make their team better. So if there’s a deal out there and they can go get multiple different players that makes the team better, I would keep an eye on Patrick Beverley and Bojan Bogdanovic in Utah,” Shams wrote.
“Those are the types of guys that if you can go get two or three rotation players to plug onto your team and kind of get better with some parts those are the types of moves I think you’re gonna see the Lakers try to make. I don’t think that they’re done necessarily, I think they’re gonna still try to get this team better.”
<h2>Lakers considering to bring back a familiar face</h2>
According to Marc Stein, the Lakers are also considering the prospect of bringing back guard Dennis Schroder, who spent one year in LA during the 2020-21 before leaving as a free agent.
“Re-signing free agent guard Dennis Schröder is a “legit consideration” for the Lakers, league sources say, depending on how the rest of their roster develops. After one season as a Laker, Schröder played for Boston and Houston in 2021-22,” Stein wrote.
It is what it is for the Lakers, who would probably prefer to set their sights on a different type of players if they could. This is what they can affordat the moment, and even though they are not the most attractive targets, they would still make them better.

The only problem is that he sees things no one else sees. He’s as petty off the floor as he’s on it, and that’s one of the many reasons why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/The-25-NBA-teams-with-most-fans-20200423-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA fans</a> or even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/james-harden-and-3-former-nba-stars-who-are-washed-20220513-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">players</a> don’t seem to care about him.
That pettiness and lack of self-awareness were once again at a full display yesterday. Beverley spent the whole day taking shots at Chris Paul on ESPN, stating that he can’t guard anybody and that he deserves all the slander.
Needless to say, Beverley’s comments didn’t sit well with… well, anybody. He’s a role player talking about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-paul-and-future-hall-of-famers-likely-to-retire-without-a-ring-20220516-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a future Hall of Famer</a> and one of the best defensive point guards of the past two decades.

That’s why former Clippers forward Matt Barnes didn’t hesitate to call him out. He reminded Beverley that he’s barely a role player in the league and that he’s nowhere near Paul’s level to talk about him like that:
“There’s a thin line between being critical and disrespecting.I feel like what Pat Beverley did to Chris Paul was completely disrespectful and out of line,” Barnes said. “Pat Beverley is talking like he’s that guy. You’re not that guy. Plain and simple. Chris Paul played terrible this series and his numbers are still better than your career numbers have ever been.”
“Pat Bev and I were similar role players. They don’t talk about us when we’re gone,” Barnes said. “They’re going to talk about CP3 when he’s done. I just think the disrespect that we saw earlier today needs to be checked because he was way out of pocket.”
Barnes called Beverley a clown and told him to stay on his lane with his disrespectful comments. Clearly, he couldn’t separate his personal history with Paul from those petty and inaccurate comments:
“All he needed was the red clown nose because he was talking like a clown today,” Barnes said. “CP3 is a legend in this game and we were role players in this game. So have some respect for guys. He played terrible. He would be the first one to tell you, but the shots that Pat Bev took today were just out of pocket. I know no one else is going to tell him that, so I’m going to tell him that.”

At the end of the day, all that guy wants is attention, and he got it. But just like Barnes said, no one will ever remember him as soon as he’s no longer on an NBA court. Or at least, no one will miss him.
